Reason for Recall
During ongoing product development testing, it was discovered that, when the two inflow barbs on adapter 201048 # 4 are in a position to face one direction, the top Barblock may interfere with the top surface of bottom barb of the adapter. The interference may cause the plunger on the suction side to lift slightly which may affect flow of sterilant into the suction lumen.
Firm Action
A Steris Field Service Representative will make arrangements to visit each facility to modify the affected Quick Connects. Until that time customers may use the work around instructions for use in the notification letter dated August 4, 2008. Contact Steris Corporation at 1-800-548-4873 or 1-440-392-7455 for assistance.
